OkapiIsland Second Life Project team Agenda 26 Sept 2007

3.30-4 Brainstorming and Dreaming

• Dreaming:

• Terraforming the Island
  • Selecting new contour map that contains more than east mound, perhaps the river that runs along its west side, the marshes that lie around, and part of the west mound just on the other side of the river . New animals (goats, dogs, wild cattle, gophers) and plants (yes, we do need trees). Should we plan the compound (ie archaeologists’ living space?
• Museum/Interpretive Center Design
  • We need new design for the space maybe modeled on plans for Kuckkoy museum or find new building.
• Events
  • Webcast Lectures, Guided Tours, Virtual Film Festival, Live music, (treasure hunt), Conferences, Major event in Nov cf CalDay? Smaller events before then?
• Audio:
  • Creating an Okapi Island Soundscape
  • introductory pieces of music with different remixes. How will this be implemented into the SL environment?
  • Sounds for videowalks.
  • Immersive sounds (object oriented environmental sounds.
  • Selectable soundscape interface concept.
• Videos and Films
  • Interviews with Archaeologists (edit ruth interview http://okapi.dreamhosters.com/video/catal/ruth_interview.mov )
  • Views of archaeologists at work (use videos from remixing catalhoyuk themed collections
  • Making use of the Cataljoyuk and Remediated Places video database
  • Remixes: where are they; making new one.
• Videowalks
  • Mirror the existing videowalks from Remediated Places in Second Life using virtual iPod
• User-Testing/Communication/Interface/Signage
